Many countries in the World already have birthrates below the 2.1 births per woman "replacement rate"
+ Germany's rate has bounced from 1.47 in 2014, to 1.50 in 2015, thanks to immigration, but is expected to decline again
+ France had the highest birthrate in Europe at 2.01 in 2014, but it is now declinin
+ Taiwan had one of the lowest birthrates at 0.9, but as proffered various incentives to get it up
+ China had a one child policy for years, but has now moved away from that

PH higher birth rate may help it take a "more important place in the world of nations"
